Kamala Harris has a problem with men. (Not those bad things said about her husband, though that could be a problem too.)
The vice president and Democratic presidential candidate is not doing very well with guys by almost any measure, race, or outlet. Anyhow.
USA Today said Harris is “losing ground” with young Latino men who want to vote. A report in Newsweek said that Harris’ support among young African American men is “deteriorating.” The Hill reported that Harris is having a hard time with young guys everywhere, even in key swing states that will almost certainly decide the next presidential race.
It is clear that Democrats know about this, so they are acting like blue donkeys would.
At first, they put the blame on everyone else by saying they were all racist and sexist.
A top Democratic staffer in the Senate told The Hill, “Misogyny is a hell of a drug.”
They’re also using cheap stunts because Harris clearly doesn’t have any good points to make.
In small amounts, cheap stunts are fine (every candidate does them), but the key to them is that the bad things can’t be worse than the good things.
That message didn’t seem to get through to Harris’s campaign, based on her terrible performance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” this week.
You can see the trick for yourself below, thanks to Drew Hernandez, a reporter. Don’t cringe too much:
Harris tried to have a beer with Colbert, which the late-night show offered because, as the saying goes, voters “just want somebody they can have a beer with.”
After Colbert said that the Harris team asked for Miller High Life to be the drink of choice, both Harris and Colbert opened their cans and drank.
Harris took what you might charitably call a sip, but her face and response made it clear that she hasn’t liked beer in quite some time.
He joked at the end of the video, “The champagne of beers.”
It would be too mild to say that the stunt failed.
Hernandez said in the X post that went with it, “This is 100% a desperate attempt to appeal to male votes. The Harris campaign is desperate to the core.”
